Moh, you are on the right track man ...
rear LEDs, running boards, and 4.6 body kit then you will be exactly like me :thumbup: (except what is under the hood :nanana:)

Get the trim for the tips it will look much better

essam ill be getting the trim next week, im trusting you guys that it will look better haha. as for the LED tails.. i'm still thinking about whether or not to get them, but for $170 they really aren't too expensive.. and i'm sure i'll like them. I would just need help with the install as I have no idea how the tails are mounted or wired.

I think i won't be getting running boards..too expensive. as for the 4.6 kit i really want one maybe one will pop up used one day and i can get it at a steal. we'll see..

This is the easiest thing in the world ... only three bolts for each tail light piece (we have four pieces), and one plug in each piece, u remove it from the OEM and put it into the LED

As simple as that!

ohh.. so i guess it is doable. the last thing i'm looking into are capacitors, which the member here LightWerkz said would make the LEDs brighter..

Essam Khafagi 05-16-2009 04:06 PM

capacitors are only needed for 2004-2006 models with adaptive brake lights ... he said "brighter" because they were flickering before he installed the capacitors ... I did not get any flicker or error code on my 02

My 7 is almost 12yrs old and has 136k on it....I should just turn it into a planter box in the backyard, huh :thumbup:

Of course, after spending almost 12k on the motor and another 4k on the diff, I won't be getting rid of her for a long time!
